Daily Divination From Market Rogue Cultivator To Immortal Venerable - Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Unable to communicate

“Hmm? Senior, is there a misunderstanding?”

Li Chang’an feigned surprise.

A hint of doubt crossed his face.

“Senior, I don’t even know you, nor do I know your disciple.”

“Hmph! Still trying to quibble?”

Chu Xiong was furious, his face flushed red.

He swung his hand, throwing out a translucent crystal.

“A photo stone?”

Li Chang’an’s gaze fixed on the crystal.

This kind of treasure is extremely rare, and it can record past events.

The crystal flashed with light, emitting subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy. Blurry images began to appear within it, and faint sounds could be heard.

Gradually, the images became clearer, and the sounds became much clearer.

It could be seen.

In a mountain forest.

A sturdy young man.

His face was pale, and his body was covered in wounds. Blood stained his clothes. He leaned against a large tree.

“Who are you?”

The young man roared ahead, his voice hoarse, his expression filled with fear.

In front of him.

Not far away.

A figure, grinning grimly and holding a sharp blade, slowly approached him.

“Hehehe, I’m Li Chang’an of Withered Wood Cliff. I’ve heard your disciples of Yellow Crane Mountain are covered in treasures, so I’m looking to borrow some from you.”

“Withered Wood Cliff?”

The young man’s face paled. Withered Wood Cliff was a renowned sect of robbery cultivators outside Yellow Crane Immortal City.

While not as renowned as the Five Poisons Wanderer lineage, it was equally formidable.   Countless cultivators had perished at the hands of the robbery cultivators of Withered Wood Cliff

over the years .   ”Don’t kill me!”   the young man cried out in panic.   ”Don’t you want treasures? Spare my life, and I’ll give you all I have!”   ”Nonsense! If I kill you, won’t your treasures also belong to me?”   Then, Li Chang’an let out a sinister grin and urged the blade in his hand.   Crack!   The young man shuddered, his head instantly separated from his body.   Afterward,   Li Chang’an, in the video, collected the treasures from the young man and turned to leave.   The scene gradually blurred, ending   here.   Li Chang’an seemed lost in thought.   ”It’s just as I imagined. The murderer in the image looks almost identical to me, with only minor differences. Those who don’t know me well wouldn’t be able to tell.”   Besides, the image recorded by the Photo Stone wasn’t particularly clear.   Some discrepancies were normal.   Of course ,   this Photo Stone alone couldn’t convict Li Chang’an. The   world of immortal cultivation boasts numerous techniques, such as skin painting, disguises, and illusions, allowing anyone to impersonate Li Chang’an.   But Chu Xiong didn’t care.   He was filled with rage, eager to kill Li Chang’an right then and there! He   had brought Li Chang’an in for questioning   simply because   he felt killing him outright wouldn’t be enough. He had to make Li Chang’an suffer endless pain and torture before dying.   ”Li Chang’an, the evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to argue about?”   Chu Xiong pointed at the Photo Stone and roared again.   Li Chang’an’s face was filled with astonishment.   ”Senior, is this conclusive evidence? Any cultivator proficient in illusion could create such a scene. How can you convict me based on this?”   ”Hmph, a Tribulation Cultivator like you is truly stubborn. You refuse to admit it even when facing death!”   ”Senior, may I ask who gave you this stone?”   ”What? You still want to silence me?”   Chu Xiong was furious, not wanting to hear Li Changan’s explanation.   The next moment,   his momentum surged, and the powerful aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator burst out, intending to take Li Changan down.

But at that moment, the scene in the courtyard suddenly shifted.

Li Changan’s figure vanished.

His voice echoed in all directions, sometimes distant, sometimes near, as if omnipresent.

“Senior, the one speaking to you up until now was a phantom of mine, conjured by the formation. Did you notice?”

“You…”

Chu Xiong was stunned.

He hadn’t noticed anything wrong, and had assumed Li Changan was speaking with his true form.

Then Li Changan added, “Senior, you can’t see any problems with me directly, so how can you be sure there’s nothing wrong with this image stone?”

A closer look revealed something amiss.

However,

Chu Xiong’s mind was already gripped by rage.

Without a second thought, he simply shouted, “Okay, then, let me ask you, if you’re truly fine, would you dare confront me in person and let me interrogate you?”

“Senior, in your current state, I simply don’t dare let you interrogate me.”

“Yes, you are indeed flawed!”

Chu Xiong roared, seething with rage.

And then…

Without further ado, his magical power surged, and he planned to demolish the entire compound.

Even if he had to dig three feet deep, he would dig Li Chang’an out!

…

At this moment,

at the foot of Huanghe Mountain, in a small courtyard,

the brothers Huang Feng and Huang Liang exchanged a relaxed smile.

“Brother, should Uncle Chu start now?”

“Yes, with Uncle Chu’s temper, he simply wouldn’t tolerate it.”

Huang Liang spoke confidently.   Naturally, he had initiated

this scapegoating , and Huang Feng had carried it out.   Chu Xiong’s disciple was talented, and his combat power was among the highest among his peers, but he had cultivated so little that he had only reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.   How could he be a match for Huang Feng?   Until the moment of his death, he had no idea that the one who attacked him was his fellow disciple from the Huanghe Mountain lineage, whom he had often greeted.   ”Come to think of it, Uncle Chu is quite easy to fool.”   ”Haha, his current mental state is probably not much better than that of a three-year-old child,”   they both laughed.   They felt the matter was a sure thing and awaited the outcome.   Meanwhile   ,   inside the courtyard,   Li Chang’an had activated a quadruple formation, temporarily trapping Chu Xiong.   Within the formation, Chu Xiong’s eyes burned red, his rage surging as he roared incessantly.   ”You think these formations can hold me?”   he roared, like a mad bear, his unleashing power astonishing.   In the blink of an eye,   he shattered the Shadow Slaughter Formation!   Soon after,   the Cloud and Mist Hidden Killing Formation was also broken, leaving the ground littered with shattered formation materials.   During this time, Chu Xiong had not employed any formation-breaking artifacts or techniques.   He relied solely on the unstoppable strength of a Foundation Establishment   cultivator to shatter both formations .   The third formation, the quasi-second-level Hundred Swords Soul-Slaying Formation, barely held him back for a few more breaths, but it was soon shattered into smithereens.   Only the final formation,   the Thundercloud Illusion Formation,   temporarily stopped his frenzied attack.   ”There’s even a second-tier formation. It seems you’ve harmed quite a few people over the years as a Tribulation Cultivator. Otherwise, where   would you get the spirit stones to buy a second-tier formation?” “Senior, can’t this be my own opportunity?”   Li Changan said helplessly.   This Chu Xiong was completely incomprehensible.   His brain seemed unable to analyze anything, only seeing the most superficial aspects.   Fortunately, at this moment,   Pei Yingyao finally arrived.   (End of this chapter)
